from the date of purchase by the original purchaser.

Repair will be free of charge only when this device is returned
freight prepaid with a copy of the original invoice and a Return
Merchandise Authorization to the distributor or the CONTEC group
office, from which it was purchased.

This warranty is not applicable for scratches or normal wear, but
only for the electronic circuitry and original boards. The warranty
is not applicable if the device has been tampered with or damaged
through abuse, mistreatment, neglect, or unreasonable use, or if the
original invoice is not included, in which case repairs will be
considered beyond the warranty policy.

How to Obtain Service

from inexperienced usage, misuse, or malfunction of this device.

FA-PAC(PCI)F132

Handling Precautions

Please be careful to observe the following precautions whenever
handling this product.

- Do not subject the board to physical shock or bending. This can
damage the board.

- Do not attempt to modify the product in any way.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any products that
have been modified.

- Do not touch the gold-plated contacts (edge connectors) with
your bare hands. This can prevent proper connections. If the
contacts have been touched, they should be wiped clean with an
industrial alcohol solution.

- Install the BUS-PC(PCI) in a PCI-compliant expansion slot in the
PC main unit.

- Do not plug or unplug the board into/from the slot with the PC
main unit or FA-PAC(PCI)F13 powered, or it may cause a fault.
Be sure to turn off the PC main unit or FA-PAC(PCI)F13 before
plugging or unplugging the board.

- The total current consumption by the boards installed in
expansion slots in the FA-PAC(PCI)F13 must not exceed the
maximum power capacity of the power supply of the
FA-PAC(PCI)F13. Otherwise, it may cause a fault.

- The external supply voltage or drive current must not exceed the
rating.

- Do not connect any signal other than specified to the on-board
connector, or it may cause a fault.

- Plug the board into the specified expansion slot.

- When plugging or unplugging the power cable, be sure to hold
the plug itself.

- Since the I/O expansion unit is a precision device, do not store or
use it where it is either subject to shock or vibration. Also avoid
any place where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, extremely
high humidity, or much dust.

- Do not use or store the unit where it is exposed to any chemical
directly or as vapor in the air.

- The unit has ventilating slits to prevent it from being heated
excessively. Avoid using the unit with the ventilating slits
blocked or in an ill-ventilated place.

Introduction

FA-PAC(PCI)F13 3

Introduction

Restrictions

- Do not use the unit near equipment generating a strong magnetic
field or noise, or the field or noise may cause the unit or PC to
malfunction.

- It is very dangerous to use the unit with water, liquid, or metal
(conductive) chips left inside. Be careful not to let such foreign
matters in the unit.

The FA-PAC(PCI)F13 can only be used with certain personal
computers and boards. Be sure to verify operating capabilities
before using.

<Personal computer compatibility>

The FA-PAC(PCI)F13 provides bus expansion by means of PCI-to­PCI Bridge. The recognition of PCI boards in the
FA-PAC(PCI)F13 depends on whether your personal computer
BIOS recognizes the PCI-to-PCI bridge. Please confirm PC
manufacturer or vendor whether BIOS can recognize PCI-to-PCI
bridge device.

<Boards that cannot be used>

The following boards cannot be used in the FA-PAC(PCI)F13
expansion slot.

(1) Graphic display boards (VGA boards)
(2) Boards designed to increase the number of units expanded with

a PCI bus.

(3) A board specifically listed in the PC manual as one that cannot

be used.

(4) A board might not operate depending on its specifications,

although it may well be in compliance with the PCI bus
specification.

Major Parts of Each Component

The PCI bus expansion slots support a total of four interrupt pin
signals (INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD).
The individual slots have different wiring for connection not to
overload each IRQ line.
See the table below for the relationships among the PCI slot
numbers, bus numbers, device numbers, and interrupt pins.

3. Setup

Setting up the BUS-PC(PCI)

Installing the BUS-PC(PCI)

Install the BUS-PC(PCI) board in the main unit of your PC.
(1) Turn off the main unit and peripherals and disconnect the

power plug from the wall outlet.

(2) Remove the cover from the main unit. For removing the

cover, refer to the manual coming with the PC.

(3) Remove the screw of the slot cover for the PCI bus expansion

slot in which you want to plug the BUS-PC(PCI) board, then
remove the slot cover.

(4) Insert the board into the PCI bus expansion slot. (See Figure

3.1.)
(5) Pull the board slightly to make sure that it will not come off.
(6) Use the screw removed in step (3) above to fasten the board.
(7) Attach the cover back in place.

Setup

Notes!

Figure 3.1. Installing the BUS-PC(PCI)

- When installing the board, follow the relevant instructions in
the manual coming with your PC.

- Before installing the board, disconnect the power plug of the
PC from the wall outlet.

- Before installing the board, take off all precious metals from
your hands and wrists.

FA-PAC(PCI)F13 13

Setup

Connecting the BUS-PAC(PCI) to the

BUS-PC(PCI)

After installing the BUS-PC(PCI) board, connect the board to the
BUS-PAC(PCI). The connection cable is a 96-pin shielded cable.
The connection cable has the same type of connectors at both ends.

Figure 3.2. Cable Connection

FA-PAC(PCI)F1314

Starting up the System

The power supply of the FA-PAC(PCI)F13 is used in
synchronization with the power supply of the main unit of your PC.

Turning on the system

(1) Turn on the main power supply of the FA-PAC(PCI)F13

(connect the power plug to the wall outlet). You need not to

press the POWER switch (*1) on the front panel.
(2) Turn on the PC.
(3) The FA-PAC(PCI)F13 is turned on in synchronization with the

PC power supply.
(4) Make sure that the POWER LED on the FA-PAC(PCI)F13 is

on.

Turning off the system

(1) Turn off the PC.
(2) The FA-PAC(PCI)F13 enters the sleep mode in

synchronization with the PC power supply.
(3) To power off the FA-PAC(PCI)F13 completely, turn off the

main power supply (disconnect the power plug from the wall

outlet).
(*1) You can manually turn on or suspend (put to sleep) the power

supply of the FA-PAC(PCI)F13 by pressing the POWER

switch on the front panel. Use this method, for example, to

turn on only the power supply of the FA-PAC(PCI)F13.

Setup

Note!

Do not turn on or suspend the power supply of the FA­PAC(PCI)F13 when the PC main unit is on, or the bus adapter
becomes unrecognized. When turning on or suspending the
FA-PAC(PCI)F13, restart the PC main unit as well.

FA-PAC(PCI)F13 15

Setup

Note

To add more expansion slots using the FA-PAC(PCI)F13, plug
another BUS-PC(PCI) board in an expansion slot in the PC main
unit as illustrated below. The bus cannot be expanded from any
added expansion slot on the BUS-PAC(PCI).

Attaching Rack Mount Brackets

The FA-PAC(PCI)F13 can be rack mounted using the attached
brackets. The brackets can be used in two ways as illustrated
below. Rack-mount the FA-PAC(PCI)F13 using the brackets by
the appropriate method suitable for the operating environment.
